... The ruling by U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell in Washington over additional defamatory comments made by Giuliani comes just days after U.S. District Judge Lewis Liman found him in contempt for failing to turn over financial information he'd been ordered to provide.

Giuliani, Howell said, "engaged in the worst kind of defamation" against the mother and daughter, which led to them being forced from their jobs and homes due to the avalanche of death threats Giuliani touched off with his repeated false claims.

Howell ordered Giuliani to submit a sworn declaration in the next 10 days that he had reviewed all the evidence in case, including testimony from the plaintiffs, that he and his attorneys had an opportunity to attend the depositions in the case, and affirm that he understands and acknowledges that all the sworn testimony in the case refutes his allegations of election fraud against the pair. ...

... Mayor of the World

Sixteen hours had passed since the Twin Towers crumbled and fell, and people kept telling Rudy Giuliani to get some rest. The indomitable mayor of New York City had spent the day and night holding his town together.

He arrived at the World Trade Center just after the second plane hit, watched human beings drop from the sky and -- when the south tower imploded -- nearly got trapped inside his makeshift command center near the site.

Then he led a battered platoon of city officials, reporters and civilians north through the blizzard of ash and smoke, and a detective jimmied open the door to a firehouse so the mayor could revive his government there.

Giuliani took to the airwaves to calm and reassure his people, made a few hundred rapid-fire de
cisions about the security and rescue operations, toured hospitals to comfort the families of the missing and made four more visits to the apocalyptic attack scene. ...

It's hard to believe what the------------- did to America's mayor.

At least a dozen of Trump's "helpers" along the way are now convicted felons, a mark they'll have to live with the rest of their lives, destroying their lives, their careers, their livelihood and their reputations and probably name association of their sons, daughters and grandchildren.

Was it worth it?

In retrospect, probably not, at least not for them.

But Trump got away with nary a scratch.

Convicted felons seems to be a positive on rethugs resume.

He was ALWAYS a piece of garbage. If he ever did anything that appeared good, it was either for his own benefit or the benefit of his shady allies.

I wonder if a certain someone is making things with Rudy behind bars blazened on the front of them??

As long as he gets away with it he will continue to do whatever he wants. Jail time might stop him.

Rudy has always been a glory hound. First 9-11. Then his run for the presidency. Then about his part in overturning the 2020 election by interfering with the electoral count. (convicted in Arizona) Then about digging up dirt on Hunter Biden. Then his part in the stolen documents case in Florida for which he was convicted.

All the while ingratiating himself with Donald Trump in hopes of becoming a major player in Trump's next administration.

That's Rudy in a nutshell. A glory hound.

If he does not do so, he faces a $200 a day fine until he complies.

What's the point of fining the guy $200/day when he owes $150 M? Does the court seriously think that will change his behavior when he is already under contempt?

The judge is a COWARD. Every effin day, the courts reveal themselves to biased in favor of the rich and powerful. Sure, some of the r&p get taken down but it appears to be the exception and not the rule.

FEDUP

All partially true. One gets the impression Rudy is stalling for Trump to have a change of heart after he becomes president.

Trying to run out the clock, so to speak, on a hope and a prayer.

I love the idea that Andrew Giuliani can do nothing while his dad acts like the dumbest civil defendant in history and Andrew's entire inheritance goes to two Georgia poll workers.

Chris Farley played Andrew Giuliani to perfection.
